Object virtual viewing using adaptive tri-view morphing

This paper proposes a new technique for generating an arbitrary virtual view of an object of interest given a set of images taken from around that object. The algorithm extends Xiao and Shah’s tri-view morphing scheme to work with wide baseline imagery. Our method performs feature detection and feature matching across three views then blends the real views into a virtual view. Tri-view morphing by itself is realistic when occlusion across the three views is minimal, but when it is applied to cases of more complex objects and wide baselines, occlusions lead to significant artifacts. We propose a new adaptive algorithm to solve these problems
